SUWANEE, Ga., May 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Danish TV and
Internet service provider Stofa has selected ARRIS International,
plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) to transform its cable broadband network to
deliver gigabit broadband speeds and new, enhanced services
including future Ultra HD TV channels, streaming and digital
services.
The strategic collaboration between Stofa and ARRIS centers on a
full technology migration across all Stofa's sites in Denmark. ARRIS is delivering a new
headend-to-home network solution - leveraging ARRIS's
industry-leading DOCSIS® 3.1 technology and distributed
architecture to increase network capacity, achieve operational
efficiencies, and deliver faster speeds and next-generation
services to subscribers.
The solution takes advantage of the latest hardware innovations
to provide high-performance edge computing along with advanced
analytics technologies, including:
- The latest generation of ARRIS's award-winning E6000® Converged
Edge Router and the ARRIS NC2000 nodes with RemotePHY (R-PHY)
module to support DOCSIS 3.1.
- Performance Management and Alarm Central from ARRIS's
ServAssure® suite, will enable Stofa to monitor the health of its
network in real time, optimize performance, and quickly resolve
outages and prevent them from happening in the first place.
The new network has been designed with a R-PHY- based
distributed architecture, enabling Stofa to provide much greater
network capacity while reducing network complexity resulting in
both operational and capital expenditure benefits.
"We looked at ARRIS to implement a cutting-edge network
solution, quickly and at scale," said Ole Fruekilde, CEO at Stofa.
"ARRIS's global leadership gives us the confidence to entrust them
to empower our network with ARRIS's state-of-the-art R-PHY D3.1
next generation solution. Together, we're deploying a solution that
will enable us to give our customers the fastest speeds and latest
entertainment experiences while maintaining our strong position in
the Danish market for years to come."
"ARRIS is uniquely positioned with the leading DOCSIS 3.1
technology and expertise to help our global customers address
growing demand for gigabit services," said Tom McLaughlin, Senior Vice President, EMEA
Sales at ARRIS. "Our strategic collaboration with Stofa showcases
our DOCSIS and Remote PHY capabilities. As a result, Stofa
customers will be among the first to enjoy the next era of gigabit
entertainment and communications services."
